Irish-trained 7yo who was very consistent in defeat in the second half of last year (including on yielding ground) and he reappeared with a win in the 27-runner Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh (1m, soft) a fortnight ago; carries a 5lb penalty today and could be involved once more. |

Won a rated race over 5f on heavy ground at the Curragh in April but has been well beaten since; best run in a while at Down Royal latest; handicapper relenting and was second over C&D from 6lb higher early in the year so don't completely rule out; rain would be welcome. |

Progressive handicapper won over this trip at Fairyhouse last term and again on latest of three starts this season, beating late-finishing Dance Night Andday comfortably over same trip in Curragh premier fillies' tries again in stakes company but much more required. |

1st 6 (8) |
29th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Winner of 7f handicap at Fairyhouse last September off 79; meets Mataariki on better terms after that rival finished 1.5l in front of her on seasonal debut at Gowran (7f, heavy); short of room at Limerick last time when sent off favourite (1m, good); chance. |

Course winner at three; won a 7f fillies' handicap at Fairyhouse last September off 79; ended the season with a fair fourth at Naas and resumed with a solid third at Gowran; handled heavy going then, but last season's win was on good ground. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Age likely catching up with the dual Group 2 winner but he was only beaten 1.5l in a Naas handicap in April and he ran on well at Cork last time to take fifth (7f, good); he is dropping down the handicap and he has won at this trip. |

Dual Group 2 winner in Australia in his prime; won a 7f conditions race at Gowran early last season; has done plenty of racing since then, and best days are probably behind him; has to reverse Curragh form with several of these. |

Dual winner on a sound surface when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; consistent enough in defeat since joining this yard, although tends to leave it too late before getting involved; drop back to 7f probably not ideal but handicapper's grip is softening. |

Won twice when with Donnacha O'Brien and was beaten a head in a C&D maiden for him; has met trouble in running more than once for this yard, including on latest at Galway (behind Monasterboice); may need more help from the handicapper but conditions should suit and he can't be discounted. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland and quickly translated that ability to hurdles for new connections, winning a maiden at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) and Victor Ludorum at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft; beat Give It To Me Oj by 6l) on first two starts; weakened after pulling too hard in the Triumph at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft) last month and is now equipped with a hood. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland, busy last year without winning but he's scored for new yard at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) and Haydock (2m, good to soft) in his only two attempts over hurdles; did it smoothly in a useful, five-runner event last time but this company is far more demanding. |

Built on a good third over 6.5f at Listowel last month to run out a narrow winner at Limerick ten days later (1m, good); raised 3lb for that win but won off a 1lb higher mark over this trip at Naas last year; can go well again. |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 60y |

Won at Naas last July from a mark of 82 (7f, yielding); form tapered off towards the end of the season and he didn't put those doubts to bed on his seasonal reappearance last time at Naas when finishing in mid-division (7f, soft-heavy); good chance if coming back to form. |

Six-time winner on turf has been in good form this year and got his head back in front at Listowel (7f, yielding) last month; 7lb rise seems harsh enough for a gutsy win and will need some rain to be seen at his best. |

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since although solid run in Naas Listed last year; reappears for new yard off much reduced mark (23lb below career-high) and interesting to see if new yard can exploit it. |
